How Do I Import a WebView into Flutter?

Published in Flutter Development 2 mins read

To use a WebView in your Flutter app, you need to import the webview_flutter package. Here's how:

  1. Add the package to your pubspec.yaml file:

    dependencies:
      flutter:
        sdk: flutter
      webview_flutter: ^3.0.0 # Replace with latest version
  2. Run flutter pub get in your terminal to install the package.

  3. Import the package in your Dart file:

    import 'package:webview_flutter/webview_flutter.dart';

Now you can use the WebView widget to display web content in your Flutter app.

Example Usage:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:webview_flutter/webview_flutter.dart';

class WebViewExample extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _WebViewExampleState createState() => _WebViewExampleState();
}

class _WebViewExampleState extends State<WebViewExample> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text('WebView Example'),
      ),
      body: WebView(
        initialUrl: 'https://www.google.com',
        javascriptMode: JavascriptMode.unrestricted,
      ),
    );
  }
}

This code will display the Google homepage in a WebView.

Key Points:

  • initialUrl: Sets the initial URL to load in the WebView.
  • javascriptMode: Controls whether JavaScript is enabled in the WebView.
  • WebView widget: The main widget responsible for displaying the web content.

Remember to enable the INTERNET permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file if you're using Android.
